Particulars Details
H1, 2021 8.89%
H1, 2022 Projected 8.36%
H1, 2022 Outlook 7.86%
BPS Change - H1, 2022 (O) - H1, 2022 (P) (-) 50 ↓
BPS Change - H1, 2022 (O) - H1, 2021 (-) 102 ↓

According to Future Market Insights analysis, the global plant derived proteins market expects to drop by 102 Basis Point Share (BPS) in H1-2022 as compared to H1- 2021. Whereas in comparison to H1-2022 projected value, the market during H1-2022 outlook period will show a dip of 50 BPS.  The market is subject to regulatory dynamics, pricing fluctuations, and licensing of biologics.

The dip in the BPS values for the market is associated with the emergence of the “free-form” anthology in specialty foods which encloses a gluten and soy-free diet. With the establishment of increased customer choice for gluten and soy-free food products, the market for plant derived products observed a decline in the BPS values.

Conversely, plant derived scaffold proteins for research purposes support cell adhesion and proliferation for regenerative medicine and drug screening by forming critical biomatrices. This has supported promising clinical outlooks, and will pose a positive impact upon the market growth.

2014 to 2021 Plant Derived Proteins Market Outlook in Comparison to 2022 to 2029 Growth Forecast

The demand in the global plant derived proteins market grew at a CAGR of 7.6% over the past assessment period 2014 to 2021. Plant derived proteins are estimated to create an absolute dollar opportunity of USD 105 Million by the end of 2022.

Plant derived proteins are biologics sourced from tobacco leaves, rice seeds, carrots, and others by molecular farming or cell-culture procedures. These proteins are natural and environmentally sustainable and have significant potential in comparison to other biologics such as microbial and mammalian cells. For instance, the plant derived experimental antibody named ZMapp was reported to be more effective against the Ebola Virus than others.

Hence, advancements in plant expression vectors, glycoengineering, and downstream processing have resulted in increasing use of plants as a superior alternative for biologics production. Driven by this, the sales in the global plant derived proteins are estimated to surpass USD 184.3 Million by the end of 2029.

Will the Surging Demand for Advanced Drugs and Biologics Favor Plant Derived Proteins Market Growth?

Rising prevalence of diseases such as diabetes, hepatitis, lymphoma, and Gaucher disease among others across the world has created strong demand for advanced therapeutics. This significant surge in demand for biologics and drugs cannot be met by current production platforms such as microbial and mammalian cells due to their higher cost and limited scalability.

Hence, numerous biopharmaceutical companies are shifting their focus on using animal-free substitutes such as plants owing to their benefit such as eukaryotic protein modification, high scalability, low cost. This is estimated to accelerate the sales of plant derived proteins in the market.

In addition to this, increasing usage of plant derived proteins as raw materials for therapeutic drug production and surging demand for replacement proteins such as insulin and albumin is expected to assist the market to expand at a CAGR of 8.4% over the forecast period 2022 to 2029.

How is Implementation of Stringent Regulatory Framework Restraining Plant Derived Proteins Market?

Implementation of stringent guidelines and standards for the production of plant derived proteins by regulatory bodies such as European Medicines Agency (EMA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is hampering the sales in the market.

Also, implementation of ban on the plantation of tobacco in certain countries across Europe, increasing inclination towards biosimilar drugs, and rising incidence of allergic reactions to the drugs produced from genetically engineered plants are factors restraining the growth in the plant derived proteins market.
